Thats great, do you think it could reverse the joystick bug on an international edition?
I think in combination with a system.img from the international edition I think it will help, the problem is getting the /usr directory...

Could you share the International Vendor image please ?
Thanks.
Can't share it here man, it does contain roms

So some notes

1) the international edition does not like new games. Either replaced or added, it will not load it
2) It is definitely locked by filesize AND crc. If CRC's don't add up, its not gonna run
3) I'm now convinced the hack itself, is a hack to Dmenu itself to ignore all of the crc checks. Its a linux computer, FBA is gonna run, and Open Dingux being a elinux system as well explains why the emus work.

If that was the case, could you not just use the dmenu binary from the hacked version to bypass crc checks?

Update on joystick bug...
Apparently if you put ear buds in the glitch goes away.but I haven't tried it for myself yet.

So with all of that said, I have a theory...

if someone wants to try this theory follow these steps.

Open your misc.img and back up the config.xml.
Replace the config.xml with the one in the rar I've included and save the image (I use Winimage)
burn the misc.img to the NGM don't erase the flash, but format data and cache.

Backout plan:
Take the config.xml you replaced, and delete the one I provided.
Reburn the images, the system and misc and erase the flash (vendor too if you aren't booting from USB)

Well I gave it a go lol, technically it should've just killed your sound, but as I originally thought, whatever checks were modified to be ignored on dmenu, aren't applicable to the FAT_Misc partition

Sorry if it sounds stupid but the jack thing makes me think about ground issues. What if we flash it again but with ear buds plugged during adfu?
I have no time to test this these evening, if someone wants to test it?

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
